Amateur jockey Waley-Cohen wins Grand National in retirement race

Amateur jockey Sam Waley-Cohen had quite the retirement ride on Saturday in Liverpool, England.

The 39-year-old Waley-Cohen marked his final race as a jockey by winning the world-famous Grand National horse race aboard a big outsider in 50-1 shot Noble Yeats.

In a dramatic end to a race run before a crowd of around 70,000 spectators, Noble Yeats reached the last of the 30 fences neck and neck with 15-2 favourite Any Second Now.

Noble Yeats pulled away on the long run to the finishing line on the 6.4 kilometres course and won by about three lengths.
